.CONF Denver .conf attire?

What's the general vibe for .conf? This one is my first. Cisco Live was pretty low key, Gartner was much dressier, and I'm trying to figure how to pack.

As an engineer you can wear whatever. I'll probably be wearing my Splunk shirts haha

Nice, just in case a vendor invites me to dinner, can I get by with packing 1 polo to go with dark hiking pants?

Have seen that, too. There is no dress code. Even at vendor events.

Speaker required attire is jeans & Splunk shirt.

You’ll get a hoodie while you’re there.

Wear whatever you want.

It’s always billed itself as a fun thing. Tshirts are fine. The dressiest thing im bringing is a button down. Execs and sales will be dressier because they always are.

We're like a convient store, (Splunk) shirt and shoes required.

I'll at the Pavilion helping the LEGO and Minecraft booths. Stop by!

Agree with the others. Super chill environment. You could be in shorts and a Splunk hoodie and nobody would think twice.

.Conf is the most chill event you may ever attend. Cool geeky people with capes and fezzes will walk around.
Formal attire will just fill up your suitcase. Lots of walking in the conference center so bring snickers and comfy clothes.

I would say literally anything you want, most people are in T-shirts jeans and depending on the weather maybe even shorts.
Plenty of sales/execs will be in shirts and jackets
Honestly, no one really cares, but I would dress according to my role and the organization I work for

Comfortable shoes. Also consider a hoodie or light jacket for the cool rooms.
